Often, God hides his treasures in the most unlikely vessels. What can a prostitute teach us about hope and more importantly, the God of hope? Surprisingly, this story found in Joshua 2 sets the tone for this extremely important theme in Scripture. In 1 Corinthians 13 Paul states that hope is a key aspects of our Christian life, but few understand what hope really is from a biblical perspective. More than a whimsical and fleeting desire, hope, properly understood, is a powerful force that pulls us into our future. “Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit”
(Romans 15:13). Here, the Father is described as the God of Hope. As we rediscover the Father, we find in Him the source and substance of our hope.
